Here's another great example of see something, say something! Today we received a call from a citizen who saw something that he thought may be suspicious....well, we investigated, and here's the Press Release about the incident....
At approximately 1:45pm, Sutton Police responded to the area of Marble Road and Rt. 146 (Northbound). Police had been summoned to the area due to a report of a suspicious motor vehicle. Upon arrival, Sgt. Joshua Nunnemacher observed an older blue... Oldsmobile parked on the road's edge; between two homes. Sgt. Nunnemacher observed a female, later identified as Stacey Grabow, seated in the passenger seat. The female informed Sgt. Nunnemacher that "their" vehicle had become disabled due to a coolant leak and that her "boyfriend" went to a nearby residence to "get some water". Nunnemacher became suspect of the story after observing no signs of the vehicle leaking coolant. Additional police were requested to respond to the area.
Nunnemacher began checking nearby residences. A short time later, Nunnemacher could hear what sounded like footsteps inside a nearby home. After knocking at the door he received no response. Additional noises could be heard from within the home. After surrounding the house, police made entry into the home and discovered Keith Lavallee on the second floor of the residence. Lavallee was laying on the floor in a small area of the second floor. A small amount of jewelry (belonging to the homeowner) was found within his immediate area. Additional property, suspected to be stolen in previous thefts, was also located within the Oldsmobile. Lavallee and Grabow were arrested at the scene and transported to the Sutton Police Department for booking.
The lesson here? If you see something, say something!
